Lavender spray is shown here
We could snag a bottle of sunscreen from the market in hopes of protecting our skin, but although we may not get sunburned, we aren't really protecting ourselves. Most traditional sunscreens are actually packed full of toxic chemicals like avobenzone, oxybenzone, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, PABA and 1, 4-dioxane, UV chemical absorbers, artificial colors, and synthetic fragrances. And our bodies are absorbing these chemicals, where they end up in our bloodstream and can accumulate in our bodies. Scary!!
And if you happen to forget your sunscreen and that gorgeous skin of yours gets a little toasty, don’t fret! Young Living has created LavaDerm After-Sun Spray that can help you refresh and recover. This naturally derived after-sun spray offers temporary relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, minor cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, and minor skin irritations, so your family can keep playing all day!

What if you could feel better as you aged instead of feeling worse? All those things don’t have to happen to you. If you give your body the right tools, you can feel great until your very last breath.
I am going to share the secrets behind staying sharp mentally and physically so you too can remember all the important or not so important things and feel great every morning when you wake up. If no more brain fog, no more creaky joints, and no more lack of energy sounds good to you, you’re in the right place. But before we dive in, let’s talk about quality.
Seed to Seal
Not all essential oils are created equally. When you shop with Young Living you are getting quality products backed by a ‘Seed to Seal’ guarantee that you won’t find anywhere else. You can expect that Young Living will provide you with only the BEST!
- Plant material that is grown on corporately-owned farms or carefully vetted partner farms that you can actually visit
- Sustainable farming and sourcing practices, providing the purest oil on the planet
- Great care to preserve and protect natural resources
- Hand-weeded fields and ZERO use of pesticides
- Oils that retain all their natural constituents and therapeutic properties
- Use of food-grade distillers with state-of-the-art design and distillation methods
- Low-pressure and low-temperature distillation without the use of solvents or synthetic chemicals
- Rigorous testing on each batch by internal labs and third-party facilities
- Oils that are carefully reviewed through every step of production in order to meet or exceed industry safety and purity standards (beyond organic!)
And the best part . . . if the oils don’t meet these high standards, they are rejected and will not be bottled as a Young Living product. Young Living would rather have something go out of stock than let an inferior product slip through to its members. It's rare to find a company with such high standards. Now that’s amazing!!

Safety & Usage
Before we delve into specifics, let's talk about usage and safety. Don’t worry . . . there isn‘t a list of “adverse effects.” That’s not how natural products work. Instead, you just should keep a few safety tips in mind, as these are powerful products.
Safety First
- When using pure essential oils, be sure to dilute with a carrier oil.
- Don’t put them in your eyes or ears.
- Follow the directions on labels.
- The NAHA (National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy) suggests that elderly clients may have more skin sensitivities, so a reduced concentration/dilution may be indicated.
The solid-colored labels have aromatic and topical directions on them. The labels that are white are from the Vitality line and have dietary instructions on the labels. (Same oil inside, different label outside—that’s it!)
There are three ways to use Essential Oils:
- Topically - Dilute with a carrier oil like V6 from Young Living, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil. Apply to your skin. These are quickly absorbed and effective.
- Aromatically - Use in a diffuser, inhale from diffuser jewelry, or put it on your hands, rub them together, and cup them over your nose and breathe in. Simple!
- Internally - Young Living oils in the Vitality line are safe to ingest and are rated GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) by the FDA.
Staying Young with Young Living
Young Living offers 600+ essential oils and oil-infused products to help support EVERY system in your body. Don’t worry, I won’t cover them ALL, just the best ones to target the biggest needs as you age. NingXia Red, a whole-body supplement, is perfect for everyone, no matter the age!
The NingXia wolfberry is one of the highest whole-food sources of potassium and fiber and is grown in a region of China near the Himalayan Mountains known to be one of the richest sources of other minerals and organic nutrients found on earth. It has been used for thousands of years to support longevity and immune function and to aid in the natural detoxification of the body.
A study done in the population of people living in the valley where most of the NingXia wolfberries are consumed showed that 80 persons per million people were over the age of 100 in that area compared to five persons per million in the rest of China.*
NingXia Red can help prevent oxidative stress, support eye health, and provide energy throughout the day. It is delicious on its own, in a smoothie, or with a few drops of your favorite dietary essential oils. I love adding a drop of Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, or Orange Vitality oil to mine, but experimenting with new flavors for a customized blend is always fun!
What if you could increase your energy with a pill and a few drops of oil in the morning and have no side effects?
Oils
Vitality essential oils like Peppermint and Black Pepper have been shown to support healthy circulation and promote increased energy. Add a drop or two to your NingXia Red daily.
Peppermint oil can also:
- Cool fatigued muscles after physical activity when applied topically
- Produce a focused environment when diffused
- Create an invigorating and refreshing experience when inhaled
- Relieve head tension when applied topically
Supplements
MultiGreens™ will give you more mental clarity, pep in your step, and improved overall stamina.
Clinical experience has shown that before putting essential oils in MultiGreens, there was a 42% absorption in 24 hours. After adding essential oils to MultiGreens, blood absorption increased to 64% in 30 minutes and 86% in one hour. This means that cells were now receiving nutrients that they had previously not been able to assimilate. (Essential Oils Desk Reference, 6th Edition, p. 267)
MultiGreens is a nutritious chlorophyll formula designed to boost vitality by working with the glandular, nervous, and circulatory systems.* MultiGreens is made with spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and therapeutic-grade essential oils.
Unless you're able to eat a wheelbarrow full of greens everyday, you need them! Leafy greens are critical for good health, and if you are like most of us, you just don't get enough.
Exercise*
Of course physical activity can increase your energy levels through many different means. It increases the blood flow to your body, which supplies more oxygen and in turn boosts energy and reduces fatigue. Exercising regularly can also reduce the risk of stress and anxiety as well as many diseases including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, and even some cancers!
*Always consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
Heart Health & Circulation
I don’t think I need to tell you how important it is to have a healthy heart.
As you begin to ramp up your physical activity, it is also important to keep that blood flowing by maintaining proper circulation.
CardioGize is a supplement that helps support a higher quality of life, healthy heart function, and proper blood circulation with essential oils and a balanced, heart-healthy combination of herbs and compounds.
This supplement was specially formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young. This is what he had to say about the research and reasoning behind the supplement:
“I have been doing my own investigating about heart conditions worldwide, but especially in America, and was amazed when the data showed the deficiencies to be very similar all over the world.
I wanted to conduct research and study herbs used in different countries that particularly give strength, energy, and good nutrition for normal heart function, so we had many herbs shipped in.
After testing to determine their various compounds, I put the formula together for the most synergic, powerful, and beneficial response for the body. CardioGize will surely join the ranks as another great Young Living supplement.” -Young Living Founder D. Gary Young
Isn’t it comforting to know that Young Living goes to such great lengths to ensure you are getting the very best?

Focus & Concentration
The older you get, the more concern you have regarding Alzheimer’s and dementia. Research has been conducted that shows certain essential oils, like Rosemary, Peppermint, Basil, and Lemon, can improve mental alertness and memory function, keeping the brain functioning at full capacity.
OmegaGize™
OmegaGize™ combines synergistic ingredients that when used daily, support normal brain, heart, eye, and joint health.*
Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D-3, and CoQ10 (ubiquinone) work with the essential oils to create an omega-3, DHA-rich fish oil supplement that you will want.
Two things to note about this supplement are:
1) Unlike pretty much every other Omega-3 supplement, this one has NOOOO fishy aftertaste. Major bonus.
2) Just like you find with YL’s other supplements, Omegagize also is infused with a proprietary essential oil blend. Due to the typical American diet, our bellies just don’t absorb as much as you would hope from our food and nutritional supplements. Pure dietary essential oils make the nutrients more bioavailable, increase their potency, and add additional profound health benefits. Don’t waste your money taking a supplement from the store that you aren’t going to adequately absorb.
MindWise
Mindwise supports your brain and heart with medium-chain triglycerides and a high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids. YL also included vitamin D3 and the proprietary MindWise memory blend—made with bioidentical CoQ10, ALCAR, and GCP—to deliver even more brain and heart support. Its exotic seeds, berries, and juice extracts give it a flavor you will love.
Made with exotic sacha inchi seed oil, acai puree, pomegranate juice and extract, turmeric, essential oils, and more, MindWise is a nutty, fruity supplement you’ll love to take every day! Young Living formulated this daily cognitive and cardiovascular supplement to help support your brain and heart wellness.* This product is available in a liquid multi-use bottle or convenient sachet packets!

Mobility & Flexibility
Bones and joints feeling a little achy and creaky?
Regular movement and exercise will help strengthen bones, increase muscle mass, and improve balance, which are all good things that you should do, but here are some easy supplements to take that are going to make a HUGE difference in how you feel.
Agilease is a joint health supplement that’s perfect for healthy individuals who are looking to gain greater mobility and flexibility. Take daily to support joint health or as a preventative measure to protect joint and cartilage health.
Young Living uses unique and powerful ingredients such as frankincense powder, UC-II undenatured collagen, hyaluronic acid, calcium fructoborate, and a specially formulated proprietary essential oil blend of Wintergreen, Copaiba, Clove, and Northern Lights Black Spruce—oils that are known for their joint health benefits.
BLM™ supports normal bone and joint health.* This formula combines powerful all-natural ingredients, such as type II collagen, MSM, glucosamine sulfate, and manganese citrate, enhanced with therapeutic-grade essential oils. These ingredients have been shown to support healthy cell function and encourage joint health and fluid movement.*
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Young Living’s Cool Azul™ Pain Relief Cream provides cooling relief from minor muscle and joint aches, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains.
Have pain? PUT THIS ON! A little goes a long way and it works FAST! Methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, and natural menthol found in Peppermint provides a cooling effect.
The easiest and most cost-effective way to become a member of Young Living is to invest in a Premium Starter Kit (PSK).
Since most of these products are not included in a PSK, you can take advantage of the Basic Starter Kit which is only $35, then add on any of the products you’d like to try. The Basic Kit includes a few great products and your no-strings-attached membership. You can start feeling younger in no time!
If you are mostly interested in the NingXia Red products, Young Living does offer a NingXia Red Premium Starter Kit that will give you enough NingXia Red for 2-3 months and the chance to try a few other products.
